AB - Aim:To undertake a systematic review and meta-analysis exploring school-aged neurodevelopmental outcomes of children after low-grade intraventricular haemorrhage (IVH).Methods:The published and grey literature was extensively searched to identify observational comparative studies exploring neurodevelopmental outcomes after IVH grade 1-2. Our primary outcome was neurodevelopmental impairment after 5 years of age, which included cognitive, motor, speech and language, behavioural, hearing or visual impairments.Results:This review included 12 studies and over 2,036 preterm infants with low grade IVH. Studies used 30 different neurodevelopmental tools to determine outcomes. There was conflicting evidence of the composite risk of neurodevelopmental impairment after low-grade IVH. There was evidence of an association between low-grade IVH and lower IQ at school age -4.23 95% CI (-7.53, -0.92) I2=0% but impact on school performance was unclear. Studies reported an increased crude risk of cerebral palsy after low-grade IVH OR 2.92 95%CI (1.95, 4.37) I2=41%. No increased risk of speech and language impairment or behavioural impairment was found. Few studies addressed hearing and visual impairment.Interpretation:This review presents evidence that low-grade IVH is associated with specific neurodevelopmental impairments at school age, lending support to the theory that low-grade IVH is not a benign condition.
